Yes, it is expected, it probably isn't desired but it's expected. I suppose ideally FOP would automatically notify Batik about the fonts in that directory, so that Batik would consider them as candidates for rendering text. > I was expecting that as long as I referenced the directory where the > font was then it would be embedded properly. Any feedback is appreciated. The problem is that Batik doesn't know about any of the fonts in the FOP font directory. So when it does font matching it ends up replacing the desired font with one it can find (that is installed on the system). You could also notify Batik of the font either through CSS (@font-face) or SVG (<font-face/> element) - see samples/tests/spec/font/fontFace.svg for an example of using them. > > Thanks, > Bill > > > > Hi, > > I just thought I would post an update. > > I am now specifying my fonts via FOP and the result has been remarkable.
